Hussein had regarded entering the war as the lesser of two evils; he believed that, if he had not joined Egypt and Syria, they would have supported the Palestinians in overthrowing his regime.
Somewhat unrealistically, Hussein sought the return of all the territory lost to Jordanian rule, but, while willing privately to recognize Israel and to cooperate with it across a wide range of issues, he was not prepared to sign a peace treaty with the Jewish state.
Hussein became increasingly alarmed at the rise in popularity in Israel of the view that Jordan was, in fact, the Palestinian state and that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians would end only when the artificial entity--Jordan--officially became the Palestinian state.

Bin Laden, demonstrating the zeal of a fanatic, told the Syrian journalist Basil Muhammad that he hoped his new base would draw heavy Soviet fire: God willing, we want the Lion's Den [in Jaji] to be the first thing that the enemy faces.
